r CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM
The preparation of a comprehensive plan requires a great amount of
time and involvement by the public if the plan is to be truly
reflective of the people's needs and desires. Deschutes County
was fortunate to have had such extensive citizen involvement in
the preparation of this plan. However, what is often forgotten is
that continued public involvement is equally important in updating
and implementing the comprehensive plan and its attendant
ordinances.
Now that Deschutes County has prepared its comprehensive plan, it
must involve people in a productive manner with the ongoing
planning process. Therefore, the following goals have been
prepared by the Planning Commission, acting as the County Citizen
Involvement Committee and adopted by the Board of Commissioners:
GOALS:
1. To promote and maintain better communication between the
community's various segments (i.e., governmental agencies,
business groups, special districts, and the general public).
2. To provide an opportunity for the public to identify issues of
concern and encourage their involvement in planning to address
those issues.
3. To serve as a liaison between elected and appointed bodies and
citizens of the county.
4. To provide educational opportunities for the people to learn
about planning and how it may be used to assist their
community and themselves.
POLICIES:
1. To assure that county and appointed officials are aware of
citizen needs and attitudes and to permit effective two-way
communication, the County shall perform the following:
a) conduct surveys as needed regarding citizen needs,
attitudes, and characteristics;
b) sponsor workshops and presentations by known specialists
and experts;
c) prepare pamphlets explaining routine planning procedures;
d) write and distribute information newsletters;
e) prepare and present slide shows and/or films on such
topics as growth versus conservation, the subdivision
process, and the usefulness of planning;
f) make presentations to special groups and school children.

2. The County Planning Commission will be the Citizen Involvement
Committee to review and change the County's Citizen
Involvement Program as necessary so as to ensure its continued
efficiency and usefulness.
3. Between updates, special committees representative of
geographic areas or possessing special knowledge of a specific
topic shall be formed to assist with planning studies.
4. The County Planning Commission shall be kept aware of the
activities and results of the special committees and will be
informed of studies and activities of the County Planning
Division which will assist them in the role as advisors.
5. Primary responsibility for coordination between the County,
public, and other agencies shall be the county local
coordinator. It shall be the Planning Director's
responsibility to assure the Planning Division studies are
provided to members of the County Planning Commission.
6. During each plan update process, a committee broadly
representative of the county's areas and interests shall be
formed. The actual makeup of the committee will be determined
by the Board of County Commissioners based upon a report by
the County Planning Director regarding the issues and concerns
needing to be addressed during the update process. If, during
the update process, additional issues are raised, the Board of
County Commissioners may change the composition of the update
committee to assure those new concerns are adequately
addressed.
7. The plan update process should occur at least every five years
and be open to public view and involvement; public hearings to
ascertain citizen views shall be held at the beginning and end
of the process.
8. The County may, as required, change its Citizen Involvement
Program to assure public involvement and access to information
at all stages of the planning process and provide for an
efficient and effective planning program.
